Viewers will be able to find the GCF of a linear expression and use it to factor expressions. We begin by reviewing what the GCF is and modeling step-by-step how to determine the GCF of a linear expression. We then connect factoring and distributing to show how the distributive property can be used to check our work. Next, we explore two methods for factoring: using algebra tiles with a clear procedural checklist and visual model, and using the area model by writing prime factorizations, identifying the GCF, placing it outside the model, and using remaining factors inside. Finally, we write the expression as a product using parentheses. A student practice example is provided for each concept along with a fully modeled exemplar solution. Our essential question is: How can you use the greatest common factor (GCF) of a linear expression to rewrite it using parentheses?\n
